Fantini, 'Calalenta' Pecorino, Terre di Chieti, Abruzzo, 2025
Product description
Intense flavours of lemon, white peach and pear; dry with refreshing crisp acidity and some herbal notes. The name of this local grape variety comes from the Italian for sheep, ‘pecora’, because a bunch of Pecorino grapes resembles a sheep's head!
From the 'shapely calf' of central Italy, the vineyards are near the East Coast where sea breezes give the wine freshness.
